Training Principles for Longevity

It's better to train 3 times a week for years than to go hard for a few months and quit. Build sustainable habits.

Pain is a signal, not a challenge. Learn the difference between productive discomfort and harmful pain.

Muscles don't grow in the gym—they grow during rest. Prioritize sleep and nutrition.

Perfect form with lighter weight beats sloppy form with heavy weight every time. Prevent injury by moving correctly.

What gets measured gets improved. Use the tracker religiously to see your progress over time.

To grow stronger, you must consistently challenge your body beyond its current capacity. Small, steady increases win the long game.

Focus on movements that work multiple muscle groups. These build functional strength for real-life activities.

You're never too old to build muscle. Resistance training is essential at every age, especially after 40.
